Discover Kyoto Higashiyama: Local Temple & Matcha Ceremony Stay
Find Tranquility in Kyoto's Sacred Heart
Perched above Kyoto's historic Higashiyama district, Banyan Tree invites you into the timeless soul of ancient Japan.
At the secluded Korinin Temple, a Buddhist monk guides you through Zen teachings and contemplative gardens before sharing the ritual of matcha. Here, amid centuries of stillness, you'll discover a profound sense of peace that transcends the everyday.
This is more than a stay—it's an intimate encounter with the essence of Kyoto.
